Answer 2

If you have one whole pizza divided into 3 parts and another pizza (same size) divided into 2 parts the slices in the pizza divided into 3 parts would be smaller than the one divided into 2 parts.

math way of doing this is like a cross product deal
1/3 O 1/2
1x2 1x3
2 < 3
so 1/3 is less than 1/2
